I'm so upset about dinner!!!! Need Help Please

[heather208]

My family and I are going to be at Disney next week. I have called to try to get priority seating at 1900 Park Fare for the Cinderella dinner with no luck. Does ANYONE out there know about walk-ins with this place? Are there alot of cancellations for this dinner? I'll call every day morning and night if I have to. I really want to get my DD in since we won't be doing the Castle breakfast. Thank in advance.

Most people who try and walk in are not successful. My suggestion is that you call several times a day especially as you get closer to the day you want because many people do cancel because they double book their PS and ultimately make a decision. There is always the possibility that if you are willing to wait long enough, a family will not show up for their PS. It is really tough if you have young kids. LOL.

Have you tried the Princess breakfast in Norway at Epcot? I don't think it has Cinderella but it has all the other princesses.

Sometimes when you phone from your room on the dining line you can get what you need........also sometimes if you go to the podium when they are first opening for the night you might get a seat. Not a garrentee but some suggestions.

In February, I tried to get a PS for dinner at Chef Mickeys but there were absolutely none available. I was staying in Concierge and two different CMs there told me that the restaurants in the hotels are required to take walk ups because they must be able to provide food for their hotel guests (it doesn't matter though if you are actually staying in that hotel or not). This is different from the restaurants in the parks which can refuse walk ups. The CMs said to go right when the restaurant opens for dinner and sure enough, we were seated right away. That isn't to say that your wait won't be incredibly long, but they are required to seat you eventually, at least that is what I was told.

Good luck!

I have had the same experience as the previous poster with Chef Mickey's. We decided at the last minute to eat there on our arrival night. We got there right at 5PM with a party of seven and were seated right away!!!

Also, I don't know where you are staying, but when we were at the Dolphin in October we were NOT staying concierge, but called guest services about getting us a breakfast at Crystal Palace for later that same morning at a specific time for a party of 5.

BINGO!! They got it right away. I know they must have been sold out because many people walked up after we did and were unable to be seated - even parties of 2 - so let the hotel help you with your dilemma as well.

GOOD LUCK!

I think going when they first open is a good suggestion. I hope it works out for you.

That is wonderful! I am sure your DD and the rest of the gang will have a blast!

My DD was born in Raleigh many years ago. It is a great town.

If she is really into Cinderella - you can call and order a special "glass slipper dessert" for her. I think you have to call at least 48 hours in advance, but check with the GF.

Congratulations on getting your reservation. I am taking my 11 yr. old granddaughter the end of the month for a 3 night visit to Disney on her way to her other grandparents in Tampa. I am surprising her with dinner with Cinderella. I'm sure she will be so surprised.
I made the reservations for the night we arrive. I am going to tell her that we are going on a bus, monorail ride and then surprise her. I can't wait.
